Issues

Re: Can't see Admin Login Page in Magento 2.3 stable release 
It seems that you are using Windows! Magento does not officially support Windows.

This is not an official solution but can fix this issue for using Magento on a Windows machine for development and testing purposes.

1- Open this file:

vendor\magento\framework\View\Element\Template\File\Validator.php

2- Search for this line (around line 138 on version 2.3):

$realPath = $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path);
3- Replace it with this line: 

$realPath = str_replace("\\", "/", $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));
 

This is a very common issue, Many people are not aware of the fact that Magento does not officially support Windows servers! some hacks and un-official modifications such as this one needs to be done in order to make it work on a Windows machine, If you visit the below link "Magento 2.3.x technology stack requirements" you can see that the only supported OS is "Linux x86-64".

I hope this helps and solves your issue.
